It sounds like everyone is doing great! I have been drinking my 8 glasses of water but I need to drink more! I just get so busy that I forget and by the end of the day I have a huge headache because I have not drank enough! This morning it was 34 degrees insunny Florida and I did not feel like having cold water with my breakfast! So, I had tea instead. I know it doesn't count but it was warming! I did eventually drink my 8 glasses but barely.
Keep up the great work everyone! I hope to fit into all my size 22's by Christmas!0 -

Pounds to lose before Christmas = 4.5!
The next c ouple of weeks are going to be tricky with holiday get togethers, parties, work lunches, etc! I know I have to stay focused, it's not like I haven't been to a holiday party before..no need to pig out!0 -
I lost 1.8 pounds this week. I'm kind of bummed! I know it's still a loss but I was really hoping for more! I think it's because I really need to drink more water!

3.6 pounds to go!0 -
:happy: I ate on Thanksgiving without counting 1 calorie, enjoyed the food and my family. This is what Thanksgiving is for me. I don't think about how overweight I am or how much weight I have to loose (Over 100 ponds!) on this day. I just enjoy it.
Now it's back on the wagon! I want to challenge myself to loose 10 pounds by Christmas and drink at least 8 glasses water per day.
Now whose with me? I'm just going to post how much water I drank per day and how much weight I lost or gained on Fridays. Starting tomorrow, I will post my starting weight, which I'm sure will be higher than todays. :blushing:
Good Luck all those who want to join me!
This morning I officially hit my -10 pound goal BEFORE Christmas! Anything lost between now and Christmas is just gravy!!!! :happy:0 -
i'm with you! i too have been trying(again) since thanksgiving. i slipped up last night, i guess thats why i'm here so early this morning looking for support.0

Down 6 pounds since start of challenge!!

I weghed myself thismorning and I was disappointed to see that I only lost 1 pound this week. I guess it's better than not losing any or even worse gaining, especially at this time of year! Luckily, I have no social life and don't get invited to Christmas parties!
So...
Start weight for challenge 274.4
CW = 267
GW for challenge = 264.4
Lost fro this challenge = 7.4 pounds
2.6 pounds to lose next week if I want to win this challenge.
Is this realistic, NO but I will try!0 -
SW for this challenge = 186 Dec. 1
CW=179
GW= 175
Yes I am going to make it by Xmas. Discipline = Results Results = Goal:glasses:0 -

I don't get invited to Christmas parties either! I consider it a blessing! They just aren't my thing.
I think losing 1 pound a week is fantastic! I celebrate when I go down a couple ounces! I figure I am going the right way. And sometimes my body seems to hold on to the weight and then lets go of it all of a sudden.
I think we all win if we lose weight during the holiday season. I've never been able to lose this time of year before. This challenge is keeping me going!
Thanks!0 -

No Christmas parties here either...after 20 years of "mandatory" fun, I'm more than happy to opt out :laugh:
root beer & Texas hold 'em with kids at the kitchen table is my kind of magic anyway!
No drop this week...calorie count up just a bit, but no weight gain...gotta push for that 6lbs by Christmas!

SLOWING losing, but even if I don't hit the 10 pound mark, I'll still be okay with it- :-D
-If I lost weight with holiday food all around me--I consider that a success LOL0 -

Ok Christmas was here and so was the end of this 10lbs by Christmas Challenge...here's how I did:
SW: 288
Goal: 278
CW: 278!!!
I did it!! I am so happy I lost 10 lbs and have been working so hard. The last week I've put in hour cardio sessions (compared to my not-so-regular 30 min sessions) since I knew I would be eating lots more than usual with the holidays.
I give everyone who succeeded (or came close) a big pat on your back!!0 -
7.4 lost to date. Weigh in tomorrow morning. Really successful holiday time. Lots of walking and watching the portions. I am looking forward to Jan 1 weighing less and onward momentum rather than dreading another lean Jan with nasty diet food after really overindulging.
Might have lost 10 but I am at the end of my journey almost and the larger losses are slowing.
Glad to see some of you made it.
Happy New Year.

I have a little over 7 pounds to goal and this love should continue.
Who's in?????
